✨MALÉMBE✨
We’re so proud to introduce our incredible company of dancers! A few of our teammates couldn’t make it to the shoot, but they are always an essential part of our small, but mighty dance family. Every dancer brings something special, and we’re deeply honored to be part of their growth and journey.

Thank you for trusting us—we don’t take it lightly.
Huge thanks to Jossi B Jossi and Ashley Shaver for the fun choreography, and to IV Creative for capturing it all so beautifully and flawlessly.

💥 Don’t miss our Summer Jam on June 21st—it’s the best Latin dance event in Jax, and we mean that. Malémbe Summer Jam Weekender Workshops & Social

At Malémbe, we’re proud to be Jacksonville’s premier Latin dance team with a deep commitment to technique, growth, passion, and the love of dance. What we do takes time, and we think it’s worth it. You don’t have to be perfect to start. You just have to be ready to learn.

We loved shooting at our beautiful Friendship Fountain 🤩 with the perfect soundtrack “Malémbe” by Eddy Kenzo😎
